With the label „DMFV FPV Lab“ we’ll mark events that are dedicated to test and evaluate new event types for future Competitions

    For german Version click -=HERE=-

In collaboration with the MFV Weilmünster e.V. we’ll host the first DMFV FPV Lab event this year.

Scope of this event is the testing and evaluation of new FPV racing disciplines to get some fresh air blown through our stacks.

From September 9th to 10th we’ll host the first dual competition event on MFG Weilmünster model aviation airfield.

Saturday will be designated to team racing. In 60 minute long heats teams have to compete in continous operation to finish as much laps as possible. This requires batterie, drone and pilot swaps while the heat is live.

At Sunday we’ll  take a look at spec racing. With a minimum take of weight, specified props to be used and the special BetaFligh KAACK branch, including rpm limit, we’ll compress the  power of the pilots drones to a more compareable level. In addition the rpm limit of KAACKs modified BeteFlight will force pilots to new lines and flight styles.

Detailed rules will be published in the upcomming days.
